    The final price on booking didn't include 10% taxes, was written in small letter only after clicking on the little info icon. The water from the shower itched in my eyes.

    The place is amazing, very quiet, nice pool, good food, birds. Room upgrade for free to one with stunning seaview

    Excellent hotel with great view, attentive staff, and comfortable rooms.

    The mattresses are very firm, but this may not be a problem for others. Additionally, bedding includes only a top sheet and two pillows, which may not meet the needs of many guests. There were periodically some medium-sized spiders in the room, but the hotel is located in a dense, undisturbed jungle, where I'd hope there are more spiders than humans!

    I was in town for my cousin's wedding at TreeCasa, and was recommended to stay at El Jardin with some of the other wedding guests. I am very happy I did. The view is incredible and the setting very intimate. El Jardin has wonderful, attentive staff and offers an experience that feels like a welcoming B&B, homey and without the cost and pretentiousness of a larger corporate hotel. The breakfast provided daily is very good, as are the offerings on the lunch menu. The room was comfortable and clean, with a view of the ocean. Transportation to and from the hotel was easy, as the staff was happy provide the contact of a taxi driver (which driver was happy to provide transportation for us on our request throughout our stay in SJDS). I had a great stay at El Jardin and highly recommend it.

    The road is difficult to drive. We came during the rainy season with a small two-wheel drive. We made it up the hill, but some may find it to be tricky. I imagine it's not as bad during the dry season.

    Beautiful view, clean pool, nice eating area to see the view. Staff was very attentive.

    Maybe they could paint the front walls, the ones surrounding the parking lot, that is the first thing we see, and it was peeled and gray, not like the building ones

    The view and the food was exceptional! The staff was really polite, the pool amazing... In general, we had an amazing time there!! Definitely recommend!

    My room (#1) was small and dark, but I guess it is the only one. (I booked late.) Nice and roomy shower, though. The road to the hotel was in very bad condition, taking 15~20 minutes and USD $15-20 by taxi.

    Very nice, helpful and polite staff, genuinely trying to understand my very poor Spanish. Tasty Italian style food in the restaurant. Very nice breakfast with many choices. Nice pool and stunning view over the jungle to the sea. Beautiful sunset. Found a nice forest route for walking nearby, though finding it was a bit tricky.

    The location was very remote- it's roughly 15 minute drive to San Juan del Sur. There was nothing within walking distance so you need your own transportation or rely on taxis. It was windy everywhere but because of the location on the top of the hill the wind was horrible.

    The views from the room were nice. The room was colorful and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was good and the hotel helped to organize a scooter for rent.
